As I told you, last night we went for supper at the Red Lobster. One of the waitresses was chatting to a couple behind me and her conversation was littered with the word 'like" There are so many people who cannot talk without constantly using that word. For others it is the constant use of "you know". Why oh why doesn't someone tell them about what they are doing? It is dreadful to listen to, particularly when it happens on the media.

Creatures of the Photo Ark - photographer Joel Satore: this was a programme we watched on PBS on Tuesday night. Joel Sartore travels the world photographing rare animals which are on the brink of extinction and the collection is retained at his local zoo. This particular programme was a visit to Florida Keys and Madagascar. in Florida he particularly 'visited' the key deer which are a rare animal and only live in the Keys. 120 of them are killed on the roads every year. In Madagascar he photographed the most amazing chameleons some quite tiny and one as small as his thumbnail. Also lots of different lemurs.

It always annoys me when recipes call shrimp scampi. Scampi is a different type of shellfish albeit very similar but tasting different.

Grilled Shrimp Scampi

Best shrimp on the grill I have ever made! I served with lemon spaghetti and had grilled asparagus on the side. The intense garlic flavor really complimented the lemony flavor of the pasta

I always thought 'scampi' referred to a prep with garlic sauce. So you could have lobster scampi too. I thought. AI scares me and I do think we should listen to Musk. Some crazy computer could eventually shut down the energy grid. As for not knowing how to speak, look at that idiot in the WH. Everything is 'sad' to him.

Everyone uses 'like' now. I'm even guilty of it. And also 'you know'. As for AI, haven't we learned ANYTHING from the Terminator movies when the machines became self aware? That stuff really scares me.
